PSA kids! WE SHOULDN'T MENTION ILLEGAL/UNOFFICIAL TRANSLATIONS ON SOCIAL MEDIA SITES.
I don't care what Euja said, I would be a hypocrite to feel hurt by an insult about the fact that I read illegally. Quite frankly I've ignored a lot of authors because I've supported them by promoting the legal sites/buying official releases. All this to say, anyone feeling hurt and insulted has no place to say "I won't read anymore!" Or "The author hates poor people!" Mostly because Euja has repeatedly asked people to read on the official website, so have other authors. I follow Euja, so I know that she has had these complaints for years. (BTW, I do agree that Euja was rude and I have lost some respect for her although I understand her anger.)
However, what made this a major problem was the fact that some dumbass decided to flaunt the unofficial translations on twitter (⊙…⊙ )
Let's get one thing straight, any unofficial translation should never be shared where the author can see. This is due to the fact that they can either a) go after individual translation groups (meaning no more translations at a higher quality) or b) go after entire websites (meaning you'll have to find another website or risk having multiple takedowns of content). It is courtesy not only to the author, but to other readers to be on the downlow about unofficial translations and illegal websites. You are risking your own entertainment for some clicks online, so you shouldn't be surprised when authors get mad. There was at least one comic I know of that was ended because the author hated illegal translations, and Painter of the Night is not on here completely because the author threatened to sue the site. I implore everyone to just shut up, let the heat fly over, and move on.
